Can i keep 2 male rats together?

me and my brother both want male rats
Answers:
Usually 2 male rats will be OK. There is always the chance that they may fight though.
If you add a female rat in the future I can guarantee that ther males will fight!!
That being said, why did you ask your question on the "Bird" board?? You would get more answers on the "Rodent" board!

yes you can, but they may fight.
if they start fighting, seperate them immediantly before one of them gets hurt.
good luck to your and your brother on the rats, they are great animals:)

Rats as many other animals are "pack" animals. so that means they want a buddy. lol. If you havent bought the rats yet.. go to a pet store and pick two from the same habitat/cage (since they are now used to each other). if you do this. theres a minimal chance of them having trouble in the future.
Good luck with the rat thing. (they make great pets. a friend of mine has like 10 of them)

Absolutely, two male rats can reside together. However, unless they are brothers they will be a bit unnerved when first introduced. Not to mention you'll likely want to quarantine them (keep them separate for a few weeks and monitor to make sure they don't have any communicable diseases. It's a good precaution.)It may be a good idea to introduce both outside the cage first, perhaps after dabbing just a little vanilla extract on each to get them to focus less on the difference in ratty scent.
If they get on well and don't freak out at the introduction, you can probably put them in the same cage. Monitor them the first day or so on and off. A bit of tussling is normal as they try to establish dominance, but any serious biting means they should be separated immediately.
Chances are once they have that brief adjustment they'll get on well enough, if they've been well socialized around rats prior.
BTW, add-on: Don't add a female to the mix if you get unaltered male rats, unless you want babies. And for that, trust me, you don't. It's a lot of responsibility and you have to find them good homes. Just stick with the males.
